Duke University Press announces the publication of Life-Destroying Diagrams, a new book by Eugenie Brinkema ’10 PhD (February 2022). Through readings of works of film, literature, and philosophy, Eugenie shifts understandings of the horror genre away from bodily gore and the spectator’s shudder and toward how the genre’s sequencing, order, diagrams, and treatment of bodies forces readers to confront ethical questions of the limits of thinking and being. Eugenie is an associate professor of contemporary literature and media at MIT and author of The Forms of the Affects (2014).
